THE SOUL OF SONG.
rOEKS IT MIGHT REPAT YOU TO READ,
TO CUP AND TO PRESERVE.
ROENA.
Roena—Was it chance that caused my
aged hand to write
A name that to my heart has been a sor
row and delight?
Oh 1 lost, lost love of long ago, with con
stancy and truth.
How fondly did I worship you, e’en when
a beardless youth!
For even in ocr school days, dear, thy
every word and look
Were studied and remembered more than
lessons from my book.
And as the days flew by that gave thy
sylph-like form more grace,
In every glance and movement, love, an
added charm I'd trace.
The dewdrop in the morning sun, the
south wind o’er the lea,
The wood bird's song, the opening flow
er, all whispered, love, of thee.
In every aspiration high, in every dream
or aim,
My beacon light, my guiding star, were
thy dear face and name.
Even in God’s sanctuary I, forgetting
time and place,
Would turn my thoughts from Heaven
above to gaze upon thy face.
And now, although so many years have
passed since last we met,
I find, deep hidden in my heart, thy mem
ory fingering yet.
I chide thee notlfor broken vows; we
both must bear the blame
Of giving heed to those who sought the
absent to defame.
It was our fate, oh, my beloved, God
judges for us best,
Though bitter ’tis to bear through fife a
spirit of unrest;
To breathe regret for some high goal that
we could not attain;
A longing for some gem or prize that wo
have failed to gain,
For tbough;time flings rich, fragrant flow
• ers profusely at our feet,
The ones we culled in morning hours will
ever seem more sweet.
And now, although my faithful wife may
give all honor due,
And I for her may feel a love both ten
der, strong and true.
I miss the rapture and perfume, thy mys
tic charm and bliss,
That thrilled my soul when first thy lij>
met mine in young love’s kiss, j
They tell me that you wedded one unwor
thy of the prize,
Who, by his neglect, soon dimmed the
love-light in tliino eyes.
Oh, love, I would not wish to cause' thy
gentle bosom pain,
But does the past not oft float back on
memory’s sad refrain?
Even when thy fair haired played in beau
ty ’round thy knee,
Were not the though ts|of long ago a dirge
like melody?
Alas! Roena, while! write 1 know not
where thou art.
Perhaps death’s angel long hath stilled
thy gentle, trusting heart.
If so, oh love, I do not grieve, for I, too,
soon must go
Adown life’s slope to that deep stream
that bounds the here below;
And I am glad, for I am tired; the cross
has not been light,
And well I know on yonder shore the
'wrongs will all he right.
Then, fare thee well, my early love, there
is a promise given
That earthly ties shall not divide true
loving hearts in Heaven.
THE SABBATH DAY
SIX DAYS SHALT THOU LABOR
AND DO ALL THY WORK.
A DEPARTMENT WHERE CHRISTIANS OF
ALL DEGREES CAN FIND GOOD
AND WHOLESOME FOOD.
“DRAW POKER.”
Before I became a Christian 1
was very fond of playing a “little
game” called “draw poker." It
was intensely progressive—the
“stake” rising gradually from the
“little nickel” to the “big jcak pot,”
and the man who “held the best
hand” generally got the “jack pot.”
Now, tell me, “Header of the
Churchman,” wherein lies the dif
ference betwhen yonr “jack pot”
and that of the poker player, and
wherein lies the difference in the
means of gathering it. A game of
cards is a game of chance, and
“three aces” always beat “three
jacks.”
However skilled the Christian
joung lady or the Christian young
gentleman may be in handling the
pasteboard, bis success will de
pend npon the cards in hand ; and
if he get the “pitcher or the vase”
or the “jack pot” he will get only
what he won. But think of a par
ty of Christians playing cards!
Think of a Christian practicing
“euchre” in order to progress and
win a candlestick! A good way to
let one’s light shine as a euchre
player, but
I know that this device of the
devil has crept into society, and
members of our ohurch have given
it a most cordial reception. Wives
who go to the Lord’s table on Sun
day go to the “progressive euohre”
table Monday, and there play with
unconverted husband and sous.
Church members are familiar with
the dialect of the parlor gambler,
and know only so much of the dia
lect of heaven as is picked up on
Sunday, and Satan is happy over
the bright prospect of “the church
converting the world"—to his way
of doing.
No,* tuy brother, a thousand
times no. Card playing is no pas
time for the Clgistian; and when
all the apologies are made, pro
gressive euchre is still a device of
the devil.
I would respectfully suggest to
the next party of Christians in
Clarksburg, or Parkersburg, or any
other burg, who meet for progres
sive euchre to call upon the best
player to lead in prayer for a bles
sing upon the game, and especial
ly upon the one who may win the
prize at the “Christian’s game of
chance,” that he may not lose his
prize at the end of life’s eventful
game.
“Be not deceived. God is not
mocked; for whatsoever a man
sowetb, of that shall he reap.” (
Sow whisky, reap drnnkards;
sow cards, reap gamblers.
THE POCKET BOOK.
“Tom Jackson says he does not
believe there is a God ; he says he
uever saw him; and I don’t know
that I believe—l never saw him,”
said John Clary, just come in from
the company of Tom Jackson.
“I do,” said his mother; and she
said nothing more.
A week or more after this, John
burst into the kitchen with Tom at
his heels.
“See, mother,” he cried, "what 1
have found—such a handsome
pocket book!”
“Where did you find it ?” asked
his mother.
“In Pine Grove; [now whom do
you suppose it belongs to ?”
“I dare say it grew there,” said
his mother.
“Grew there !" exclaimed John,
lifting up his eyebrows with a great
surprise ; “a pocket book grow in
the woods ! Who ever heard of
such a thiDg ? It could not be.”
“Why not ?” she asked.
’’Why not!” replied the boy;
“the pocket book was made on
purpose. Look here!” opening it;
“here is a place for bank notes,
and here is a little out-of-the-way
spot with a snug fastening for gold,
and a memorandum book, and a
pencil and case, and a beautiful
gold pencil. Look, mother, with
a pen and lead, both; it was made
for a man to use.”
“Some contrivance here, certain
ly,” said his mother, putting down
her work and taking it into her
hands for further examination. “It
is one of the most useful pocket
books I ever saw ; if it did not
grow there perhaps it made it
self.”
Both boys stared at her more
and more.
“Why, mother, you talk foolish
ly,” said John, with a sober and
puzzled look; “there must have
been a man with a mind to have
made this.”
“A man that knew how—a pret
ty neat workman,” added Tom
Jackson.
“How do you know ? you never
saw him.”
“No, but I have seen his work
and that’s enough to [convince me;
lam just as certain that some
body made it as if I saw him.”
“You are!" said Mrs. Clary,
“how so ?”
“Why, mother,” said John, very
much in earnest, “you see the
pocket book had to be planned to
answer a certain purpose; now, it
must have had a planner, that’s
the long and short of it; and I
know it just as well as if I saw it
planned and done by the man
himself.”
“That is,” said his mother, “it
shows wise contrivances and it
must have had a wise cantriver.
Somebody must have made it, and
thought beforehand bow to make
it.” •
“Justso!” exclaimed both boys
at once.
“It would be foolish to think
otherwise” added John.
“I think so,” said his mother.
“And it is just as foolish,” she con
tinued, with a great deal of mean
ing in her eyes, as she looked into
the boys’ eyes, “when you see the
wonderful contrivance in the beings
and things around yon, the end for
which they jwere made, and the
skill with which they were put to
gether, for you to doubt or deny
that there is a God who made
them. Who planned your eyes to
see with, your ears to hear with ?
Can oyes make themselves ? Can
a man make a bird ? Who created
the sun, and planned night and
day ? Did your mother or father
plan your fingers and make them
grow? Yofi never saw who does
all these things, hut you know per
fectly well that a great Somebody

contrived the eye, and the ear, and

around yon. And that great some
body is God, the eternal Mind and

The boys did not expeet to be
condemned from their own mouths
in this way.

Some moot ha “ago Mr. W. E. Veazey, of
Yeazey, Ga., compounded a valuablo prep
aration for the cure of various diseases in an
imals and poultry. He hesitated to put it
on the market until its curative merits were
fairly tested. It has now stood the ordeal
of faithful trial, aud is pronounced to be
one of the best remedies extant. The de
mand for it has already been established.
We print below a voluntary testimonial of
its intrinsic curative virtues.
Veazey, Ga, May 29, 1886.
Mr. Willie E. Veazey,
Dear Sir Yours of the 26th inst to
hand. In which you request my estimate
of the remedial and mcdedicinal proper
ties of your '‘Egyptian’’ horse and cattle
powder, a formula of which you gave me
some time ago. I desire to say that I made
a most thorough investigation of the several
ingredients contained in your powder, and
unhesitatingly pronounce it a most wonder
ful compound. It is almost entirely veg
etable, and is absolutely one of the best
preparations tor *tbe diseases of the stom
ach. bowels and other organs of the abdo
minal cavity that I know of. It must neces
sarily prove a fine cattle preparation, as it
is a powerful stimulant of the secretory or
gans. It is a blood purifier, and in lung
and kidney troubles will be most salutary.
Wishing you sucesss,
I am very respectfully,-
W. F. 11 ait.bs, M. D.
F. S. I desire to state fuither, that I have
used some of the powders on a cow that
1 have, and the improvement in her condi
tion and the increase of milk have been re
markable. W. F. H.
